The King of Country Gives Fans More With 22 More Hits Scheduled For Release On November 13, 2007
NASHVILLE, Tenn (October 15,
2007) -- The unprecedented success that George Strait
has earned throughout his illustrious 26-year-career could not be captured in
the multi-platinum release of his number one hits alone. The King of Country
Music has bestowed the perfect companion piece to his multi-platinum 50 NUMBER
ONES with 22 MORE
HITS. Scheduled for release November
13, 2007. 22 MORE HITS contains exactly
that - 22 fan favorites and well known Strait hit singles that despite not
quite reaching number one at country radio made a timeless impression on
country music fans across the country.
"I've had people ask me
why this song or that song wasn't on the Number Ones album," says Strait. "If
it's their favorite song, I guess they don't care if it was number one on a
chart. This album gave me the chance to
include some of the fans other favorites and mine."
These fans know a great
song when they hear one and George Strait has made a career of giving his fans
what they want. The songs that Strait compiled for 22 MORE HITS are all timeless hits like "Unwound" (George's first
single and first top 10 hit), "If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger,"
"Amarillo By Morning," "The Fireman," "Cowboys Like Us," "You'll Be There,"
"Marina Del Ray," and many more. The
album also includes the brand new single "How 'Bout Them Cowgirls." Providing a
collection of these timeless classics is a true gift to the fans of George
Strait.
The release of 22 MORE HITS
comes on the heels of the announcement that Strait will begin his
highly-anticipated nationwide arena tour which kicks-off January 10 in Austin,
TX. Once again, the Texas Troubadour gives his fans all over the nation a
chance to see firsthand the electricity that can only come from witnessing
Strait live.
2007 has already proven to
be a successful year for Strait and stands to be a monumental one, as "The 41st
Annual CMA Awards" approach. Strait received a remarkable seven nominations to
lead all other nominees. Strait's nominations are for Entertainer, Male
Vocalist, Album for It Just Comes Natural
(co-produced by Tony Brown), Musical Event with Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson
on the live version of "Hey Good Lookin'," and Single of the Year for
"Wrapped." Strait could win two additional trophies as producer for Single and
Album of the Year.
